XRP may be flashing the kind of multi-factor bottom setup that has only 
appeared a handful of times before, according to analyst Will Taylor 
(@CryptoinsightUK), who argued in a video published Tuesday that the token is 
showing rare high-timeframe signals associated with prior cycle lows. Taylor’s 
thesis is not built on a single chart. Instead, he pointed to a cluster of 
technical and positioning indicators across XRP/USD, XRP/BTC, XRP dominance, 
XRP versus gold, and broader altcoin market structure, arguing that “there’s 
going to be a move in altcoins” and that XRP could be among the main 
beneficiaries if crypto volatility resolves to the upside. Why The XRP Bottom 
Could Be In On the weekly XRP chart, Taylor said his broader view has not 
changed. In his reading, XRP already broke out of a long accumulation range 
that stretched from the January 2018 highs until late 2024, and is now trying 
to establish support for another leg higher. He identified the broad support 
region between roughly $1.38 and the mid-$0.60 area, with XRP currently 
“finding support in this region.” The strongest part of the setup, in his 
view, is the weekly RSI. Taylor said XRP has only entered oversold territory a 
small number of times in its history, and that the first time it did so, it 
marked “the exact bottom” for the asset. “With XRP specifically when we hit 
this oversold area, this was actually our exact lows,” he said. “And we hit 
that area again now and we’re still at $1.50 in terms of dollar region. So, I 
think it’s quite promising to start with XRP on the weekly time frame.”

Limited Liquidity He paired that with another signal from derivatives 
positioning. Taylor said XRP funding had stayed negative for roughly seven 
weeks, a stretch he described as only previously seen around the 2022 bear 
market lows. In his words, “The only other time we’ve seen premium seven weeks 
negative and we’ve seen the RSI oversold was the absolute lows of the bear 
market in 2022. So that’s another positive piece of confluence there for XRP.” 
Lower down the chart, Taylor focused on the three-day and four-hour structure. 
He noted that XRP closed above a three-day range for the first time since Feb. 
3, which he sees as an early sign of strength, but said confirmation now 
depends on whether price can hold the breakout zone. The range he is watching 
sits roughly between $1.45 and $1.51, followed by a more important reclaim 
around $1.67. Above that, he flagged the $1.85 to $2.00 area as key weekly 
resistance. Elsewhere, he said XRP is beginning to stabilize against Bitcoin 
at the bottom of a long consolidation range and has printed a higher high on 
the daily chart, suggesting that “there is some life at the bottom of this 
range.” Related Reading: XRP Could Need Five Macro Cycles To Break $100, 
Analyst Says He also highlighted the XRP/gold chart, where weekly RSI 
conditions have, in his telling, only turned this constructive once before. 
“XRP against gold has for the second time in history crossed into oversold 
territory on the weekly RSI and we’ve actually crossed bullish,” he said. “The 
last time we did that again was right here for XRP against gold. We’ve done 
this from what I would consider key support.” Taylor’s upside case also leans 
heavily on liquidity. He argued that short-side liquidity above spot is denser 
than downside liquidity below, particularly into the $1.90 area and, on a 
larger scale, up toward $3.60 to $4.30. If XRP can clear higher resistance 
levels, he expects short liquidations and open-interest resets to create the 
kind of cascading rally seen after prior range breakouts. $XRP Technical

Cryptoinsightuk (@Cryptoinsightuk) March 17, 2026 That broader move, he 
suggested, may need a macro or regulatory catalyst, potentially tied to 
legislation such as the Clarity Act. But his cycle targets remain unchanged. 
“I’m targeting up here — $14 to $18-ish dollars,” Taylor said. “I’ll be 
deleveraging between $8 and $12 quite heavily and I’ll continue to delever 
into the $14 to $18.” For now, his message is simpler than the target itself: 
XRP may still be in a waiting room, but the analyst believes the market is 
much closer to a decisive move than the recent price action suggests. At press 
time, XRP traded at $1.51. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from

XRP Flashes Rare Bottom Signals As Analyst Eyes Breakout Toward $14–$18

Bitcoin price started a strong increase and traded above the $75,500 zone. BTC 
is now consolidating and might aim for more gains if it clears $76,000. 
Bitcoin started a decent upward move above the $75,000 zone. The price is 
trading above $73,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is a 
bullish trend line forming with support at $72,000 on the hourly chart of the 
BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might continue to rise if it 
clears the $75,000 and $76,000 levels. Bitcoin Price Starts Consolidation 
Bitcoin price remained supported and extended its increase above the $73,500 
level. BTC climbed above the $74,200 and $74,500 resistance levels. The bulls 
were able to pump the price above $75,000. A high was formed at $75,998, and 
the price recently corrected some gains. There was a move below the 23.6% Fib 
retracement level of the recent upward move from the $70,292 swing low to the 
$75,998 high. Bitcoin is now trading above $73,500 and the 100 hourly simple 
moving average. Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at 
$72,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. If the price remains stable 
above $72,000, it could attempt a fresh increase. Immediate resistance is near 
the $75,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $75,500 level. A close 
above the $75,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the 
stated case, the price could rise and test the $76,200 resistance. Any more 
gains might send the price toward the $77,500 level. The next barrier for the 
bulls could be $78,000. Downside Extension In BTC? If Bitcoin fails to rise 
above the $75,000 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate 
support is near the $73,800 level. The first major support is near the $73,150 
level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the 
$70,292 swing low to the $75,998 high. The next support is now near the 
$72,000 zone and the trend line. Any more losses might send the price toward 
the $71,650 support in the near term. The main support now sits at $71,200, 
below which BTC might struggle to recover in the near term. Technical 
indicators: Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing pace in the bullish zone. 
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now above the 50 
level. Major Support Levels – $73,800, followed by $73,150. Major Resistance 
Levels – $75,000 and $76,200.

A cryptocurrency analyst has explained how the upper boundary of a Parallel 
Channel could set up a bullish breakout for Cardano (ADA). Cardano Could Face 
Key Resistance At $0.304 In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has shared a 
technical analysis (TA) pattern forming in the 4-hour Cardano price chart. The 
pattern in question is a Parallel Channel, which forms whenever an asset 
observes consolidation between two parallel trendlines. Related Reading: 
Dogecoin Surges 6% As Whales Scoop Up 470 Million DOGE The upper level of the 
channel tends to be a source of resistance for the price, meaning tops can be 
likely to occur at it. Similarly, the lower level can act as a point of 
support, facilitating bottom formations. The asset breaking out of either of 
these bounds can suggest a continuation of the trend in that direction; a 
surge above the channel can be bullish, while a fall under it can be bearish. 
There can be a few different types of Parallel Channels depending on how the 
trendlines are oriented with respect to the graph axes. Channels that are 
sloped upward are known as Ascending Channels, while those pointing down are 
called Descending Channels. In the context of the current topic, the third and 
simplest type is of interest: a Parallel Channel that&#8217;s parallel to the time- 
axis. This type corresponds to a period of true sideways movement in the 
cryptocurrency&#8217;s price. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows 
the Parallel Channel potentially forming in the 4-hour price of Cardano over 
the past few weeks: As displayed in the above graph, Cardano retested the 
lower level of this Parallel Channel earlier in the month and found support at 
it. The coin has since seen a rebound and has been making its way up the 
channel. During the last couple of days, the digital asset sector as a whole 
has witnessed a bullish impulse and ADA hasn&#8217;t been left out as its price has 
flown up to levels near $0.290. This surge has furthered the cryptocurrency&#8217;s 
journey inside the channel, taking it about 75% of the way to the upper level. 
&#8220;45 days of sideways chop is nearing an end,&#8221; noted the analyst. &#8220;The key 
resistance is $0.304, which is the upper boundary of this channel.&#8221; As 
mentioned earlier, a break above a Parallel Channel can lead to a sustained 
bullish move. Based on this, Martinez has highlighted target levels for the 
asset. Related Reading: Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Surges As Price Touches $74,000, 
But Extreme Fear Persists From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that these levels lie 
at $0.338 and $0.376, corresponding to half-width and full-width distances 
above the channel, respectively. It now remains to be seen whether the latest 
rally will take Cardano to the $0.304 resistance and if a breakout will take 
place. ADA Price At the time of writing, Cardano is floating around $0.288, up 
more than 8% over the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from
